(2002) Struggling with loss of faith after the sudden death of his wife, an Episcopal priest (Mel Gibson) fears for the lives of his children (Rory Culkin and Abigail Breslin) after he and his brother (Joaquin Phoenix) discover huge circular patterns in his cornfield that suggest an invasion by hostile aliens. Writer-director M. Night Shyamalan masterfully builds dread and tension while touching upon issues of faith, but the lightweight narrative doesn't provide a powerful punch to match the unnerving apprehension that shapes the film. Some intensely frightening moments and occasional crass expressions. (A-II -- adults and adolescents) (PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned) AMC (cable)

(1968). Fine drama about a Bronx Irish family's domestic crisis succeeds far beyond the limitations of its basically one-set story. Starring Patricia Neal and Jack Albertson as the parents, and Martin Sheen as their serviceman son, the movie probes the love and hate that alternately bind the three together and tear them apart. Adapted from Frank Gilroy's Broadway drama, the movie contains intimate touches of family life, its joys and its frustrations, and is masterful in its revelation of human nature, jealousy, and love. Mature themes. (A-III – adults) (G -- general audiences) TCM (cable)

(2012) Daniel Day-Lewis' bravura performance in the title role is the highlight -- but by no means the only asset -- of director Steven Spielberg's splendid historical drama. The plot focuses on the Civil War president's passionate yet wily struggle, during the closing days of that conflict, to steer a constitutional amendment abolishing slavery through Congress. Aided by his secretary of state, William Seward (David Strathairn), but distracted by his troubled personal life -- Sally Field plays his famously high-strung wife, Mary -- Lincoln uses rhetoric to win over his hesitant Cabinet and patronage to woo his opponents. The trajectory of the tale is, by its nature, uplifting, while Lincoln's multifaceted personality -- which encompassed idealism, political shrewdness, melancholy, humor, and even a few endearing foibles -- is vividly illuminated in Tony Kushner's screenplay. The educational value and moral import of the film may make it acceptable for older adolescents. Intense but mostly bloodless battlefield violence, a scene involving severed limbs, cohabitation, about a dozen uses of profanity, racial slurs, a couple of rough terms, occasional crude and crass language.

(1998) Vividly animated tale of a spunky ant (voice of Dave Foley) who rounds up several performing circus bugs, mistaking them for warriors needed to defend his endangered ant colony against marauding grasshoppers. Directed by John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton, the animation and pacing are outstanding, but young children may find the intensity of the menace quite upsetting.

Edgewood College presents The Rail Splitter on February 23, 24, March 2, and 3, at 7:30 p.m. with an additional performance on March 3 at 2 p.m., in the Diane Ballweg Theatre, 1000 Edgewood College Dr. The Rail Splitter, by Rick Cleveland and directed by Audrey Lauren Wax, is a play about Abraham Lincoln -- except, really, it's not. This is not your grandfather's Abe Lincoln play. The story follows a group of college students and a writer as they attempt to write a play about the 16th president of the United States. The students begin with the best intentions but get incredibly -- and hilariously -- off-track. Their efforts go so wrong, so haywire, that the results are basically disastrous. The more they dig up, the more ridiculous their ideas become. Cleveland wrote this to show just how far people can get from a starting point. It's a satire of the docudrama genre. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $8 for students/seniors. To purchase tickets visit http://theatre.edgewood.edu

(2009) Intentionally over-the-top horror tale in which a Los Angeles loan officer (Alison Lohman) is cursed to death and damnation by a woman (Lorna Raver) on whose home her bank is foreclosing and, with the reluctant support of her skeptical boyfriend (Justin Long), enlists the aid of a fortuneteller (Dileep Rao) in her increasingly frantic efforts to undo the spell. Gross-out sight gags abound in director and co-writer Sam Raimi's canny shockfest, but bloodletting is generally minimal and the occult elements, like the dubious premise that one person can consign another to Hades, need not be taken seriously. Some hand-to-hand violence, a premarital situation, a couple of uses of profanity and of the S-word, and a few crass terms. (A-III – adults) (PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned) Cinemax (cable)

(2015) Lively profile of the computer pioneer and Apple co-founder (Michael Fassbender) who died in 2011 at 56. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin uses three landmark product launches over 14 years to trace Jobs’ rise, fall, and return as the company’s guiding light, and to chart his fraught professional relationships with his long-suffering gal Friday, Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet), his longtime collaborator, Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen), and sometime Apple CEO John Sculley (Jeff Daniels). As portrayed in director Danny Boyle’s engaging character study, Jobs’ personal ties — principally with his ex-girlfriend, Chrisann Brennan (Katherine Waterston), and their daughter, Lisa (Perla Haney-Jardine) — were equally tense. The film’s balanced portrait of its protagonist, a volatile and enigmatic genius, reveals his radical shortcomings as a parent but also celebrates his remarkable gifts as a designer and retailer. The vocabulary in Sorkin’s script, however, is anything but user friendly for youthful tech fans. Mature themes, including illegitimacy, a bit of irreverent and sexual humor, about a half-dozen uses of profanity, considerable rough and crude language.

Premiere of a four-part miniseries exploring the early, volatile years of independent America’s history, from the Revolution through the California gold rush. It features dramatized portrayals of frontier icons Daniel Boone, Tecumseh, Lewis and Clark, Davy Crockett, Andrew Jackson, John Fremont and Kit Carson, as well as interviews with experts. This first episode explores how the Revolutionary War spread beyond the colonies into the remote frontier, and how Daniel Boone’s life-or-death struggle for the future of his settlement became a fight for the future of America.
